Siding and soon dry wall!!




At first I wasn't sure if I liked the siding color but the more I look at it, the more I like it. Once we get our shutters up I'm sure it will look even better. We went inside to see if it was all insulated yet and that's when we saw the drywall! The drywaller will be out on Friday to start that. I can't wait!! If this house is going to be done by the time we were told, then that means we have 3 weeks left! Seriously, I feel like I'm going to be blogging about this forever. It just seems like the day we get to move in will never come! We're getting more and more anxious everyday.

Insulation




It's about halfway done then they will put up dry wall or whatever. That will arrive on Friday so probably next week they will start on that. Then the fun stuff begins!...paint, cabinets, countertops, flooring. Can't Wait!

Stone!!!!




We LOVE LOVE LOVE this! We both think it looks so nice on the house. We picked the stone out after we picked out siding and shutters colors so we can't wait to see how well it goes with that. The siding is in the garage so they should be putting that up any day now. The house is also halfway done with insulation. I'll do another blog about that later.
It's getting soooo close but we still don't really have a set date on when it's going to be done. We're hoping by the first week of August.

We have a basement!







Finally! We were wondering when they were gonna pour this. I hate that we have so many support beam things tho. It kind of ruins the whole layout. Oh well. The corner by the window is where the washer/dryer will go. Not much else to say about this. Haha! Kyle wants to start finishing it this winter so that will be exciting. We're thinking TIKI BAR theme!!!

Roof is done and we have a garage door!


It was a good end to the week for the house. All the shingles are on, the garage door is installed and the house is sealed! I couldn't even get into the house because they locked it...which is good. But, it looks like most of the electrical work and plumbing is done...just waiting on inspection and then they can do the siding and the dry wall or sheet rock...whatever you wanna call it. Haha!
Our appt. last week was cancelled so we re-scheduled for this Tues. So we'll be picking out floors then.
We are finally...well not we because I don't have a job yet, but Kyle is financially where he wants to be so we went and picked out a sectional and put a down payment on it. So that's exciting because I didn't think we'd be doing that just yet.
We're getting closer!!!! =)

The start of shingles!!!




We have shingles on our roof! Finally! I was wondering when they were gonna start on this. Hopefully they can get all of them up there by the weekend, that'd be nice to see. They also did more electrical and plumbing work. They framed the 2 doors we have. (little things excite me, haha!) and the front door has a temporary door knob so we can actually close the door and lock it. Haha! Not that it really matters. So that's kind of what the picture of the front door foyer area is about and I also wanted to post a pic of the awesome plant ledge we have! So excited about that! We actually have two but the one is SO big with the vaulted ceilings...I didn't even expect it to be that big. So that will be fun to decorate. We have another house appt. tomorrow...probably the last one before the final closing. We'll finally get to decide what kind of floors we'll have...I'm hoping for hardwood but we'll see.

Garage and front porch are poured!




This is what they did today...along with more plumbing and electrical work. Our basement still isn't poured and they didn't even touch the roof today. Anyway, I like our front porch...it is bigger than I expected. I wasn't able to get a picture from the front because the yard was flooded and muddy. But, it looks good! Hopefully tomorrow we have a roof because our floor boards are getting wet and it looks like the rain isn't done yet.
